HC Deb 19 March 1982 vol 20 c221W
Mr. Adley

asked the Secretary of State for Transport if he has now had a meeting with the chairman of the British Transport Docks Board to discuss the proposal to moor a liquid petroleum gas tanker in the Solent; and if he will make a statement.

Mr. Eyre

The chairman of the British Transport Docks Board has undertaken to keep my right hon. Friend in close personal touch with any developments; but, in view of Mobil Oil Company's decision to withdraw its interest in the proposal, an early meeting does not appear to be necessary.
